Actor, playwright and concert artist Hershey Felder — last seen in San Diego in 2008 — is coming back to the Old Globe in three limited engagement solo shows: “George Gershwin Alone,” “The Great American Songbook Sing-Along” and the Globe debut of the newest addition to his critically-acclaimed “Composers Sonata” series, “Maestro: The Art of Leonard Bernstein.”

Felder — whose return was announced today by Globe executive producer Lou Spisto — delighted audiences in 2006 and 2008 in “George Gershwin Alone.” He is reviving that show in a 13-performance run starting July 1 (through July 10).

The next series of shows, running July 11-17, will feature Felder in “The Great American Songbook Sing-Along.” The show will showcase century of American music from such masters as Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, George and Ira Gershwin, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim.

The final installment, running July 22-Aug. 28, will feature Felder in “Maestro: The Art of Leonard Bernstein,” a new production from the creators of “ George Gershwin Alone,” “Monsieur Chopin” and “Beethoven, As I Knew Him.”
